Light and shadow
Feeling. You can’t miss it on Brightness & Darkness, NOHMI’s second album. South Korean pianist Miran Noh has gathered the elite of the new jazz generation for this musical adventure. Noh is a remarkable musician, rooted in both classical music and jazz, and it speaks volumes. Together with her bandmates, she moves effortlessly between these worlds. The influences of her great heroes, the French composers Ravel and Debussy, resonate clearly on this album.
Like a true impressionist, Noh plays with light and shadow. The light brings hope and connection, the darkness captures emotion, struggle, and societal layers. Together they create an interplay that allows you to look both inward and outward, to a world full of imbalance and silent tensions, but also full of beauty.
